"Peacekeeping: Every Missing Bullet Counts" Topic

"Since the late 1990s peacekeepers have become increasingly occupied just trying to stop all the shooting going on. It wasn't always like that. After the Cold War ended in 1991 there have been too many people with AK-47 running around firing at anything and everything. How to stop that? There's always been a simple solution available; outlaw 7.62x39 ammunition. Since 1991, this rifle round has become the biggest killer on the planet. This is the ammo used in the AK-47 and the SKS carbine (a non-automatic rifle with a smaller magazine than the AK-47). You can't get find and seize all those weapons and destroy them. But you can sharply reduce the supply of ammo.

Incrimentalism is the tactic.

Especially with the guise of perceived emotion or safety.

If it is successful, how long until the 9mm is the next one banned? Then etc., etc., etc., all in the false argument of, "if it saves just one life."

Like with other firearms-related bans, only those obeying the laws will be at risk.

Love the argument, Fewer bullets means fewer dead bodies."

Maybe, but more likely it means less dead by bullets. A criminal or murderer or soldier or freedom fighter will use a machete or club or something else instead.

I support banning everything.
